Abstract
The running scene rests upon a system of beliefs (a code) about the “qualities” of running performances. Membership in the scene entails the interrelated use of conversational forms and the presentation of a “team” identity. The forms consist of nomic talk, ritualized lying and code truth telling. Within each form, the runner may “lie” about or manage information regarding running performances in order to construct, maintain or attack the system of beliefs. The “lie,” then, plays a major role in the scene as a device of social interaction.
